James McAvoy and Kerry Condon help stranded holidaymakers

James McAvoy and his “The Last Station” co-star Kerry Condon turned Good Samaritans recently when a flight they were stuck on failed to get off the ground – they handed out muffins and water to their fellow stranded passengers.

The two stars boarded their plane at London’s Heathrow Airport two hours late and then had to wait a further eight hours until the flight took off.

But, rather than complain about the delay, the two co-stars decided to make the best out of a bad situation.

McAvoy tells WENN, “Everybody was in really good spirit. Thousands and thousands of people were trying to get their bags out of a mountain of bags but it was hilarious.

“Kerry got a big box of muffins and I got a lot of water and calcium tablets and we went around finding children who were crying and really annoying their parents, so we were like, ‘Do you want a muffin?'”
